Hello and happy Friday to you! It’s a balmy 40ish degrees here in Michigan today which is downright warm compared to what we’re used to. In celebration, I bring you more sights from around the Steads’ studio.

Today, some progress Philip is making on his book! A blue horse:

A happy looking Wednesday:

The sun!

Some shapes (which I’m positive are much more useful and vital to this project than my irreverent declaration that they are “some shapes”):

And ducks!

Also, I have a feeling this handy little tool will get some good use in Phil’s book:

In Erin’s part of the studio, there are lots of colors (and I always think this looks like art all by itself):

And much anticipation for exciting college basketball games (yes, there is a calendar in the studio dedicated to college basketball):

Hope this finds you with something exciting to look forward to. Yours in peaceful blog thievery,
